Movie Performance License for Public Libraries

The Vermont Department of Libraries (VTLIB) has purchased a motion picture public performance license with Movie Licensing USA for use in Vermont public libraries. The license permits free public performances of movies in public library buildings. This program is free to all public libraries in Vermont.

Use of the license requires a current signed agreement form on file at the Vermont Department of Libraries. This will be mailed to Vermont public libraries.

Use the Movie Licensing USA website to confirm the movie you wish to show is covered under the agreement as not all movie studios participate in the program. For a movie not listed, you must contact that studio directly to obtain performance permission.

A requirement of this agreement is for participating libraries to record and submit to VTLIB statistics regarding the use of this license for the period of June 1, 2017 - May 1, 2018. A statistics form was mailed to libraries along with the agreement.
